By my count we are about to get a speaker of the house.

Jim Johnson.... An election denier who has promised to shut up about it.


I personally liked Emmer, but Johnson is second best of the crew and MUCH better than McCarthy.


Now lets see if the House will condemn Hamas, three weeks late.

Trump supports him- that's all we need to hear.

House should condemn Israel. An apartheid state.
 
I guess the polling that came in and showed how much trouble the house is in.
 
“Many Americans are waking up this morning wondering – who is Mike Johnson? We’re here to help: Maga Republicans’ new speaker-designate supports extreme nationwide abortion bans. He led the charge for Donald Trump denying president Biden’s legitimate election win and tried to overthrow the votes of 81 million Americans.

He’s a leading proponent of slashing Social Security and Medicare. Mike Johnson is a carbon-copy of the Maga extremism that is deeply unpopular with Americans across the country. House Republicans will have to answer for their support for their new Maga speaker next November. Make no mistake: the American people will hold them accountable for this choice.”

The fact that accepting the election results disqualified you from being speaker is all that needs to be said about the Republican party. What a joke.

An election denier as speaker, now that's a new low for the GOP house, I don't think any worthwhile legislation will be passed or avoiding a government shutdown?!! If the GOP house want aid to Israel they must give aid to Ukraine too?!! I see deadlock ahead?!!
 
Johnson Played Leading Role in Effort to Overturn 2020 Election

In December 2020, Mr. Johnson collected signatures for a legal brief in support of a Texas lawsuit attempting throw out the results in four battleground states won by Mr. Biden.

The Supreme Court ultimately rejected the suit, but not before Mr. Johnson convinced more than 60 percent of House Republicans to sign onto the effort. He did so by telling them the initiative had been personally blessed by Mr. Trump, and the former president was “anxiously awaiting” to see who in Congress would step up to the plate to defend him.

Mr. Johnson has also made a close ally of Mr. Trump, and he served on Mr. Trump’s impeachment defense team.

On Nov. 8, 2020, Mr. Johnson was onstage at a northwest Louisiana church speaking about Christianity in America when Mr. Trump called. Mr. Johnson had been in touch with the president’s team on his myriad legal challenges seeking to overturn the results, “to restore the integrity of our election process,” according to a Facebook post by Mr. Johnson recounting the exchange.

“We have to keep fighting for that, Mike,” he said Mr. Trump told him.

“Indeed we do, sir!” Mr. Johnson said he replied.
